Chamber announces beautification awards

The Manatee Chamber of Commerce has recognized three area businesses for their beautification efforts.

The Image Manatee Beatification Awards for the second quarter were handed to River Wilderness Golf & Country Club for the multi-family residential category, Fish Hole Miniature Golf for the small retailers category and the Ellenton Premium Outlets (pictured) for the large retail category.

The chamber selects beautification award winners each quarter, with a final winner for the year announced during the annual meeting each February. Finalists are nominated by Chamber members, and the winners are voted through a committee.

Other finalists this quarter included: Lofton Meadows Apartments, Water’s Edge Bradenton, Atlanta Bread Company, Irene’s Resort Wear, Island Cabana, Rice’s Appliances, Budget Self Storage Cortez Road, Holiday Inn Airport, and Holiday Inn Express.

"First impressions are very important and lasting," Chamber President Bob Bartz said. "We need to make good first impressions on new residents that may be coming here, new businesses that may be coming here, and new tourists we want to come back. It's important to continue to work on this."
